H - I will miss you. Whether a trip to the Dr or the grocery store. You were a bundle of surprises. I would go thru a traffic light that was “maybe” yellow and you would look all around saying “ I don’t see any coppers you are safe”. We almost always ended up at the local hotdog stand enjoying a dog with chili sauce. Rest In Peace my Friend. I will Love and Protect your daughter as you were always concerned for. Good Night H. Until we meet again - You will be missed.
